I have a netbook with Ubuntu 10.10 with the netbook unity desktop. I have read that clicking the Ubuntu logo top left of the screen should open an 'expose' style switcher of all running applications. However when I click the logo it simply opens a menu screen with large icons labeled Web, Music, Photos & Videos, Games, Email & Chat, Office, Files & Folders and Get more Apps. See attached.
What is wrong or am I mistaken about the logo being an expose switcher?

That's for a workspace selector not a Window selector. I'm experiencing the same problem

Since Google led me here, I'll chime in.
In 11.04, the keyboard shortcut for OSX Expose style is shift-alt-up_arrow.
Personally, I like to have it mapped to a hotspot on the screen( lower left corner). You can customize the initiation behavior by installing the CompizConfig settings manager. The plugin that mimics Expose is called Scale(Window Manager -> Scale). It has settings for hotspots, keyboard shortcuts and all kinds of stuff.
Cheers!

The Ubuntu logo opens the dash, where you can search for programs and recent/common files. For the psuedo-Expose, you can click the workspace button or press Super-S.
